About the host

Hosted by Lea D Culliton

Host profile image
Originally from Madison, I met my husband at UW 35 years ago. His family vacationed on Middle Eau Claire Lake and we’ve been bringing our children here for over 30 years. We purchased a “cabin” in 2002 and moved up here permanently in 2022.
Barnes is known for its beautiful clear lakes, friendly people (seriously friendly), golfing, pickleball, and tons of great entertainment. We have live music everywhere at our great bars, taverns and supper clubs. No matter what the time of year there’s always something going on.

Why they chose this property

Whether you want to visit for peace and quiet or you want adventures, this is the place. Located on over 6 acres you’ll see wildlife and very few cars. We are a block away from the ATV/Snowmobile trails and 25 minutes to Hayward for the Lumberjack festival or the infamous Birkie.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Set amongst the woods but yet just off Hwy 27. We are one of the only places you can have a Heated Garage! Great perk in the winter to bring in your ice fishing gear, snowmobile gear, skis or snowshoes to thaw out. At over 1,500 sq. ft, the duplex is spacious and inviting. Dogs? We love them. We even have a bed for them!
